Scandal Makers

It's been some time since I've watched anything I really enjoy, I never squeeled or laughed at the big screen for so such a long time. This is one show that you have to catch, either in the theatres or on DVD, you just cannot miss it. Until now I still cannot get over the quirky-ness of this movie. The ending and climax is predictable though. But the cute-ness and wonderful acting made it up.

Another Korean classic comedy. Go watch it and have a good time laughing.

There's somerthing wrong with Esther

The movie was great. Esther is an adopted orphan who is ever so polite, well-mannered. She impresses everyone she meets, such a lovely girl. But she freaks out and screams to burst your eardrums whenever someone attempts to remove her collar ribbon.

I could have been more engrossed in the show if not for fighting the urge to go to the loo. The show was so captivating that my whispers were not heard. Stupid Ulyanto.

For the first time

It's O-V-E-R O-V-E-R O-V-E-R. I was keeping all the joy and urge to scream for the whole evening. Have to be considerate and watch my mouth because my two best friends are still in the midst of exams. Hehe.

Dinner with Shona, Ang and Mike. We went to Pasta Inc just behind Ang's house. And am I glad it is situated so near her place, so convenient.


It's a small place to be called a restaurant, seats are very limited, and that's why I didn't opt for this place for dinner with the clique. They were playing classic old Italian music. Quiet, peaceful, you don't even feel like you're in Jalan Besar.

Ordered Spaghetti Pescatore Al Nero Di Seppia (Squid ink pasta) $16.90, after reading the reviews and decided to be adventurous also. It was my first time trying a squid ink pasta and please, do not judge the book by it's cover. The plate of everything black did not look very appetizing in the beginning. The first bite was indescribable. It was just wonderful! They really have some good squid ink sauce and the spaghetti was chewy tangy, perfect. Shona's angel hair crayfish pasta was good too, it's like all the tomato-based flavour was absorbed in. It was good even eating the noodles on it's own. Pasta was sooo good, I can have another serving! (You have to be careful while eating the squid ink pasta, three of us had greyish-pirate-lips while talking and eating)

Pasta Inc. is a gem admist Jalan Besar with the great local food around. It is a good place to go back to and their pastas are surely worth the price. It tasted like it could be much more expensive!

Fabulous dinner, fabulous. Is this how real italian food tastes like? Instead of the plain unappetizing ones at other pasta places? Then I want to go to Italy please.

Buona notte!

Scissors paper stone

I always like to read Ikea catalogue even though I'm not buying an furniture, I just enjoy seeing how everything is so pretty in there. And then imagine about how my future house would be like, or rather, how I want it to be. This is every young woman's day dream isn't it?

I'm almost done with exams! Almost! Tomorrow will be the last paper and I'll have some more time before I take off.

1)After paper tomorrow, going to have Pasta Inc. with Tingtong and Neh-neh. (Another thing from the to-do list, done)

We were there yesterday, but it was closed! Swee Choon was too! But we discovered a place seeling good Yong Tau Foo.

2) I finally got to see Neh neh after such a long time, I've missed her so much. I miss both of them already, please let tomorrow come faster.

3) I was deciding to buy a camera bag for the trip, and Weiyang asked me to save money for the trip and suggested that I borrowed his. I was so happy that he agreed to lend it, he's been so kind and helpful to Pam and me.

4) I'm excited about dinner with the clique, I haven't seen everyone sat down at a table having dinner together for a long time (I missed Meiqi's birthday) I miss all of them, and it will only get stronger.

5) I'm excited to go watch Orphan too! Only if my best friends stop teasing me about it.

CWT is jamming up my head, too much sediments, I need to undergo pretreatment count how many baffles are there inside, flocculation and coagulation, and finally filtration. And calculate what is the level of hardness in the brains.

Omg omg omg. Joy just texted me saying she think Freddy is near her having breakfast. I think I've just missed my last chance.

Ceraunophobia

It's pouring outside, with claps of horrifying thunder. And, I'm home alone. I have to overcome this.

I feel like some kid covering my ears and shut my eyes very tightly when I see that flash of light. I would fit my fingers as deep as I could into my ear canal to block out all the sound. It felt as if my stomach dropped and heart skipped a beat. And the house looks especially sinister when I'm alone. I feel like a coward sitting in bed trying to cover myself with everything possible until the rain/thunder stops. Imagine doing a presentation halfway when I'm talking and suddenly stop to crouch and cover my ears when thunder strikes. I would become a laughing stock. I'm turning 18, it's time I overcome this fear.

Mommy is always nice enough to give me a call whenever there is a thunderstorm, she knows my utter fear for it. She would wake up in the middle of the night to check on me when it's raining. I would be awake crouching in a fetal position, hoping that the thunder would go away. It all begun with such a bad experience, sigh. Thinking back, it was quite hilarious too. But it sends chills down my spine.

I know that dogs are afraid of thunder too, I hope Candyce is just like me. If she's braver, I'm a fail. :(

The bad and the good

Bad news, I've been having diarrhoea recently, many many times. Last night was the worse, I felt worse than a slug. It was really dehydrating me. I had to bring in my phone to the toilet and entertain myself while camping inside.

It's still processing out of my system nowww.

I tweeted "Run to the loo run run run. How I wish I can do Laplace as fast as how the diarrhoea is coming." Think I'm so funny hahahaha.



Good news, IM.GOING.TO.THE.SHOW! My aunt got tickets and offered to bring me along this coming Saturday. I cannot wait! Soo excited soo excited!

Tomorrow meeting my aunts and Cousin Beanbean for lunchie somewhere, it's going to be fun anyway it's always fun with them.

Thursday Thursday Saturday Saturday :) :) :)

I have to go do enough homework to make up for the time I'm going to spend not-studying. Monday is Maths Paper. Byeee.

The Crab Flower Club

A Toy Factory Production

Set in a respectable household in the Qing Dynasty, five daughters come forth on the eve of their father's 60th birthday to prepare the most delicately complex feast of crabs for their patriarch, as well as the setting up of an all-women poetry club.

As each of them conjures up their inner recipe, the 5 ladies assemble their intelligence, talents and secrets nakedly on the table. The Crab Flower Club is a delicious examination on the excitingly calligraphic world of sensitivity and simmering feelings. They become audience to their multi-faceted universe of morality, conspiracy and philosophy.

Due to overwhelming response, The Crab Flower Club is back from Aug 20 to 29 at Singapore’s Drama Centre. It was first staged there from June 3 to 5.

This musical stars Nell Ng, Emma Yong, Karen Tan, Yeo Yann Yann and Ang Ru-Chen.


I cannot believe that they're restaging this again, I felt lucky, but have no companion, and no cashzxz to go. No point feel that happy it's as if I'm going blahhhhh. I'm just happy to hear about it, I think it's going to be really good. Should add this onto my To-do List, watch another play before leaving. Maybe I shall spend money on the ticket after all.

Half done half to go

I'm done with half of the papers! 3 out of 6 done woohoo!

11) Find out if the universities are near to each other (We could meet Edy and Erwin halfway!)
Tick. I went to do my research and we are 20 minutes car ride away from each other very neaarrr!

Now the next thing to do, 10) Google ‘Fun places in Wuhan’ and plan late Friday nights out.

We cannot be back in campus later than 11pm though, we'll be locked out and force to sleep on the streets during the cold autum night. I've already gotten an idea already, try watching a movie at the Cheena theatres! That will be so exciting! Edy damn excited also we spent damn long hours talking about plans last night and I only slept at 1am. Lol.

I cannot wait to goooo! (Now I just have to make Pam as excited like me)

I'm preparing to go Liang Court, to meet Tingtong Ang Fighter Chen and Jojo Ng. Neh-neh Tan is down with H1N1, resting at home and fighting all that bad bacteria.

And we're going to have my favourite ramen! It's a little overpriced but it's totally worth it! Omg, I'm like drooling already. I cannot wait to fly there. Marutama Ramen. I hope I can load up a picture of that bowl of hot delicious savoury thin noodles slurping it up with that mouth-watering clear flavourful stock, and that hard boiled egg with the yolk still runny inside. Hmmm..

Have wings we fly

A group of young Americans go to France, for different personal reasons, and volunteer to fight in the French Air Service, L'Aéronautique militaire, during World War I prior to America's entrance into the war. During their training, the film mainly deals with the struggles each pilot has with the demanding flying; later, the focus shifts to the aerial dogfights that dominate the front line missions. Themes of camaraderie, racial prejudice, revenge and love are also explored.

Channel 5 tonight at 6.30pm. I know I'll like it!

You know, every year during National Day, I would keep an eye out for people who hung their flag upside down or the cresent moon and stars on the wrong side. Everyone's improving!

And I only saw one this year when I was on the highway. I immediately laughed out loud, it's for real the this resident had the flag wrong. Jalan Rajah BLK 101. Ooops! XXX

HAPPY 44th NATIONAL DAY!

I got this mail from Weiyang

"Seen your to do list on your blog.. Seems you are all pumped up for the trip, I know you have heard it from me a thousand times BUT YOU ARE SO GONNA ENJOY YOURSELF. I hope this helps

Skype with Skype Credits, its 10USD but its worth it, you can call home and it is dirt cheap, 2 cents per minute.
Stocks of medicine, perhaps you can arrange with Pamela with that. Charcoal Pill is a must.
Extra Money if you plan on Shopping, Female stuff there are cheap and rather alright.
The place is also swarm with original Adidas and Nike products
An umbrella, the rain there is terrible, it can rain an entire day, with winds that will simply destroy your cute bangs.
Universal Travel Adapter, 2 will be good.
Horlicks, Milo and some breakfast drinks. The super market does not have all that.
There is a water container there, with hot and cold water available, its only 8RMB for refill, and it is alot of water. So yup hope that answer Pamela's question.
Stocks of Movies stored in your hard disk for you to pass your time at night.
Toothpaste and such you can get from there, but it is best to bring it there as the 1st night is gonna be quite rushing and you will only do your shopping the next day.
Save up on plastic bags there, as the supermarket do not give it to you and you would have to buy it, some do not even allow you to buy it.
Sunnies, to protect your eyes from the harmful UV rays and to look cool.."

It was absolutely sweet and nice of you dude. Thank you very much!
PS, Pam are you reading this?! Now reading all that makes me even more excited! (Don't whine!)

To-Do List

I've got it done up! I've got this sitting in the documents folder for almost a week already. Still filling in more though.

51 things to do before leaving for Cheena, Wuhan. (So far)

Updating more updating more and maybe cancelling some in time to come. I know this has nothing to do with something "To-Do" but it's linked anyway!

1) I think I just missed Fred on the bus, I couldn’t see if it was really him, and there were so many people! Arghh! *^&%#@!*#@

Breeze after storm

Cool it, I've got to learn to cool it.
Can't believe that I let those get into my head and spoiled the rest of my day.

Time is passing real fast huh? It's Wednesday! Oh my god, next week is the last week of school. Yea nothing great exams are after that.

And I'm flying off like almost immediately after the papers.

Ok I'm not going to divluge any details here or say anything about the dates, if not people will think that I'm up to something or trying to pass a message or whatsoever. I think I have to be careful with what I say or do, to stop people from speculating me that I'VE GOTTEN OVER IT. Stupid irritating immature disrespectful shallow unthoughtful people!

COOL IT, I'VE GOT TO LEARN TO COOL IT.

Pheeeewwwww. Whenever I got so upset over this, I was desperately looking for that someone around, and puts a smile on my face. Fred. I haven't seen Freddy for long.

This is prettaye, such a great idea.

O.K. I'm going to type my To-Do List now, almost done!

ARGH TO HELL WITH YOU!

WHEN I SAY I'M OVER IT, I FREAKING MEAN THAT I'M OVER IT. STOP DOUBTING ME!

People want me to move on, and when I happily tell them that I have done it, it was like "Yea right" It's contradicting. I thought you all want me to move on, and should be happy for me instead. WHY SHOULD I LIE THAT I'M GOOD AGAIN? YOU THINK I WOULD PRETEND TO BE HAPPY AND THEN GO STAB HIM OR DO OTHER FUNNY THINGS BEHIND HIS BACK?

I HAVE A LIFE PLEASE, WHY IS IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT I'VE DONE IT?

With pen and paper

I wrote a letter to S just this week. And when I was writing, I truly felt that we could really be friends. I felt I understood what he meant when he said he wanted to be friends, and not that we have to stop talking to each other. And I felt okay, good. She's probably coming back soon or maybe she's back already, and I kind of feel happy for him that he will see her again. I'm not a psycho. I'm not trying to be all I-have-compassion-I-forgive-you. It seems weird that it's as if I've gotten over this so fast, but it's a good thing, right? I mean, I finally figured out that we could be friends after all. But if he has changed his mind about it, I won't force this.

I'm impressed with myself! Gone are the times feeling lost, all those months, March April May June July. I'm not going to let my 2009 be a bad year, going to make it even better. Hello August! Nice to meet you!

___________________________________________

I was dragged up early this morning for one of those touring-exploring Sunday trips again. We haven't done this for a long time. It felt good to be down on Sembawang Road. There was no tall buildings. Just zooming pass green fields, green fields, and more green fields with Dandelions and Mimosa. The fresh morning breeze was refreshing.

I'll miss going out on Sunday trips.

My fat purple veggie

nataliedee.com

THIS. This is my current wallpaper for my desktop. This adorable fat purple thing, in case if you don't know, it's a Brinjal/Eggplant. I love you Aubergine! You sound really cute.

I'm going to take away my Twitter application in FB, too irritating. It is a great invention, both, but I prefer tweeting more. Ok I don't want to continue, this is getting boring. Bottom line, so that means I will be less active in FB, but who cares luh.

Pam's head is on the table again, once again. Joy is nodding away, watching Mika in his underpants dancing in his bedroom. Ok I'm going to peer over to her side. Bye.

Change of my pillar of strength

I had a really good time talking to Jojo the other night. It's good that I have someone to relate to. I felt better, best of all, after that talk because most of the time to others, I'm just telling and describing to them how I feel. But with her, she knows what I'm feeling because we are in the same situation. And we'd realise we feel the same way about it, and we're not alone.

"Think of your accomplishments, how long has it been since you cried. the rush of blood to your ears was not as strong as before. We've changed from tears to taking in of deep breaths when we see anything that reminds us of them. We're able to smile when we see a note written by him, or a gift from him, instead of crying our eyes swollen."

"New experience with new people brings new memories. You should still go to the places you both went to, go with our friends, do the things you both used to do, eat the same food you both used to eat. Have new memories of the place, let it replace the old one."

It will be much easier now when we have each other. We're no more tattered and torn, we are no more crying. We are now going through a whole new experience without them in our lives.

It's good really, it's all good, from the bottom of my heart. I feel happy whenever someone comes up to me telling me that I'm so strong. Thinking back, I would have it easier if I've let my heart die earlier, it was the closure that I needed. But now it doesn't matter anymore, I still moved on in the end.

__________________________________________________

Clean water technology lecture is boring me. Pam's head is already down on the table, luckily I have my laptop with me, if not mine would be on the table as well.

Saw this on Casper's tweet. It's good isn't it? Very creative I would say.

Gave more recieved much less

Think of it as liberating yourself from the tyranny of fables that have programmed you to accept less love than you deserve, and give less love than you have to give.

- IS Mag, 24 July 2009

I don't usually believe or even read horoscopes, but I was reading the magazine at Coffee Nations this afternoon and read to Shona hers, I came across mine which I felt was eerily true. I feel exposed, like, hey a magazine knows about my private life and about how I really feel. It's as if it was speaking my mind.

Maybe we should all believe in horoscopes every now and then. Of course not the ones which tells you "Wearing all orange today, the love of your life will find you. Walk north, hear the winds whisper, they will tell you the answers." You will look like a pumpkin and no one would want to walk with you, not even talking about the love of your life.

The wheels go round and round

I was laughing when I saw Shona's tweets about her new driving instructor, she must have had a really bad time breathing in air of the same area with him. As she was learning, he was eating Hokkien mee in the car, and she felt insulted (maybe not as bad if he had asked, "you want some?") But he was also spitting in his food, that turned her off there and then, so no, she didn't want the noodles even if he asked. And he was swearing as much as the A's in this sentence I guess.

She's hopping mad and very eager to change a new instructor. I will hear more from her when I see her again tomorrow. We are going to the slums of Jalan Besar, to visit the two princesses of the three at Petain Road, and to have dinner at good ol' Swee Choon. I just cannot wait!

And I had a very disturbing dream about N last night, it wasn't so bad when I was dreaming, but when I woke up to think about it. I freaked out, it's so weird.

___________________________________________

I was going through the web for creative advertisments for psychology project and spotted some really interesting ones.

Child drug abouse. This is just a weird twist to the nursery rhyme I grew up with. Like, a child choosing to drink coffee over the choice of a Coke. Freaky, this boy must have gotten some mutant genes in him. Or wait a minute, I'm now thinking about the whole benjamin-button thing.

Some thought that came to my mind when I hum this tune now. What do people do with black sheep's wool, to make Afro wigs?

Go google creative advertisments now, find some entertainment!

Oxygen to grow

All the work is never ending. I feel like sitting by the side and just let the work pile up by itself.

I want to be like this plant, happily sitting in the bulb taking in air, sunlight and water to help me grow. But I'd be really bored though. I hope my owner will change my place everyday, so there will be new scenery everyday I can look at different things and explore with my eyes and imagination.

I would like to be a plant which can bear flowers, and maybe even fruits! So that I can give back to my owner for taking care of me. But I'd be too big for this cool light bulb pot. Hmmm.
